[[Notes on EWBAITE-era demos by anonymous A&R assistant|An anonymous A&R assistant]] who heard the song described it as "heavy". Other anonymous listeners have described the song as being about Cuomo killing a metaphorical "monster inside" with his guitar, purporting that the song's bridge was reused for the ''[[Weezer (The Black Album)|Black Album]]'' song "[[High as a Kite]]".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20201111230201/https://sites.google.com/site/exceptyoudie/everything-will-be/ewbaiteeyd ''Except You Die'' fansite (archived by ''Wayback Machine'')]</ref> These purported themes seemingly match text found in the liner notes for ''Everything Will Be Alright in the End'' ("I realize that the monster in the end dies too, It's okay / Even the monster will die") though it is unknown whether they are related. Both aforementioned sources describe the song as reminiscent of ''[[Maladroit]]''.
-Love the heavy intro reminds me of Maladroit-era
 
-Love the vocal melodies
 
-If the chorus was a bit bigger than the verse that’d make me love the song even more
 
-Love the heavy feel of this song, it fits perfectly with the sound this album is creating
 
-Bridge breakdown is killer|Anonymous A&R Assistant|[[Notes on EWBAITE-era demos by anonymous A&R assistant|Notes on EWBAITE-era demos]]}}
 
"My Guitar" was a demo written in consideration for Weezer's ninth studio album, ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]''. It is unknown whether or not the song progressed into being recorded by the full band, or remained a solo [[Rivers Cuomo]] demo; it was never released on any of Cuomo's series of [[Alone series|''Alone'' digital compilations]].
 
[[Notes on EWBAITE-era demos by anonymous A&R assistant|An anonymous A&R assistant]] described "My Guitar" as "reminding [him] of ''[[Maladroit]]''" and having a "heavy feel". Weezer fan site [[ExceptYouDie]] described the song as having a narrative formed around a monster (potentially [[Everything Will Be Alright in the End#Artwork|Smooch]]), this ties into lyrics found inside the booklet of ''EWBAITE'', reportedly being from this song, implying it may have been in consideration late into development for the album. The same fansite also purports that the bridge from this song was reused for ''[[the Black Album]]'' song "[[High as a Kite]]".
